In this paper, we propose an improved SBIHT algorithm based on double significance criteria. According to the defined relationship between a threshold and a boundary rate-distortion slope, we choose significant coefficients and trees. The selected significant coefficients and trees are quantized and entropy-coded. Experimental results demonstrate that the boundary rate-distortion slope is well adapted and the proposed algorithm is quite competitive to and often outperforms the SPIHT algorithm.

본 논문에서는 초고해상도를 갖는 복소 홀로그램을 압축하기 위한 전용 코덱에서 SPIHT(set partitioning in hierarchical trees)를 사용할 경우에 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 복소 홀로그램을 위한 코덱의 개발은 크게 전용 압축 방법을 만드는 방법과 HEVC 및 JPEG2000과 같은 앵커 코덱을 이용하고 전후처리 기법을 추가하는 방법으로 구분될 수 있다. 전용 압축 방법을 만드는 경우에, 복소 홀로그램의 공간적인 특성이 매우 독특하기 때문에 이 신호를 해석하기 위한 별도의 변환 도구가 필요하다. 많은 연구들에서 웨이블릿 변환이 여기에 좋은 대안이 될 수 있다는 것을 보여왔다. 웨이블릿 변환을 사용할 경우에 압축을 위해서 EZW, EBCOT 그리고 SPIHT를 사용할 수 있다. EBCOT의 경우에 복잡도가 너무 높고, EZW으 경우에는 성능이 좋지 않다. 따라서 SPIHT는 좋은 대안이 될 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 EZW와 SPIHT 같은 부대역 단위의 제로트리 기반의 알고리즘들은 고해상도의 영상에 대해서 고압축으로 코딩할 경우에 비트스트림 제어 시 온전한 부대역의 정보가 제대로 전송되지 못하는 문제점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 부대역의 분할 방법을 이용하여 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위한 시도를 하였다.

This paper focuses on lossless medical image compression methods for medical images that operate on two-dimensional(2D) reversible integer wavelet transform. We offer an application of the Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees(SPIHT) algorithm [1][3][9] to medical images, using a 2D wavelet decomposition and a 2D spatial dependence tree. The wavelet decomposition is accomplished with integer wavelet filters implemented with the lifting method, where careful scaling and truncations keep the integer precision small and the transform unitary. We have tested our encoder on medical images using different integer filters. Results show that our algorithm with certain filters performs as well and sometimes better in lossless coding than previous coding systems using 2D integer wavelet transforms on medical images.

This paper proposes a new multispectral image data compression algorithm that can efficiently reduce spatial and spectral redundancies by applying classified prediction, a Karhunen-Loeve transform (KLT), and the three-dimensional set partitioning in hierarchical trees (3-D SPIHT) algorithm in the wavelet transform (WT) domain. The classification is performed in the WT domain to exploit the interband classified dependency, while the resulting class information is used for the interband prediction. The residual image data on the prediction errors between the original image data and the predicted image data is decorrelated by a KLT. Finally, the 3-D SPIHT algorithm is used to encode the transformed coefficients listed in a descending order spatially and spectrally as a result of the WT and KLT. Simulation results showed that the reconstructed images after using the proposed algorithm exhibited a better quality and higher compression ratio than those using conventional algorithms.

Compressed still image or video bitstreams require protection from channel errors in a wireless channel. Embedded Zerotree Coding(EZW), SPIHT could have provided unprecedented high performance in image compression with low complexity. If bit error is generated by dint of wireless channel transmission problem, the loss of synchronization on between encoder and decoder causes serious performance degradation. But wavelet zerotree coding algorithms are producing variable-length codewords, extremely sensitive to bit errors. The idea is to partition the lifting coefficients. A many partition of lifting transform coefficients distributes channel error from wireless channel to each partition. Therefore synchronization problem that caused quality deterioration in still image and video stream was improved.

In the field of medical diagnostics, interested parties have resorted increasingly to medical imaging. It is well established that the accuracy and completeness of diagnosis are initially connected with the image quality, but the quality of the image is itself dependent on a number of factors including primarily the processing that an image must undergo to enhance its quality. This paper introduces an algorithm for medical image compression based on the quincunx wavelets coupled with SPIHT coding algorithm, of which we applied the lattice structure to improve the wavelet transform shortcomings. In order to enhance the compression by our algorithm, we have compared the results obtained with those of other methods containing wavelet transforms. For this reason, we evaluated two parameters known for their calculation speed. The first parameter is the PSNR; the second is MSSIM (structural similarity) to measure the quality of compressed image. The results are very satisfactory regarding compression ratio, and the computation time and quality of the compressed image compared to those of traditional methods.

From 1980's, the DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) is applied to the data/image processing. Many people use the DWT in remote sensing for diversity purposes and they are satisfied with the wavelet theory. Though the algorithm for wavelet is very diverse, many people use the standard wavelet such as Daubechies D4 wavelet and biorthogonal 9/7 wavelet. We will overview the wavelet theory for discrete form which can be applied to the image processing. First, we will introduce the basic DWT algorithm and review the wavelet algorithm: EZW (Embedded Zerotree Wavelet), SPIHT(Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees), Lifting scheme, Curvelet, etc. Finally, we will suggest the properties of wavelet algorithm; and wavelet filter for each image processing in remote sensing.

This paper proposes partial image encryption system for secure transmission of images. Partial image encryption is suitable for real-time processing purpose of multimedia data that needs compression and encryption. Compression part uses modified SPIHT algorithm and encryption part uses AES. Partial image encryption is significant reduction in encryption time in comparison with whole image encryption.

This paper proposes an object detection algorithm using the Multiresolution Motion Estimation(MRME) in wavelet d야main. A existing motion estimation method has characteristics of motion estimation but it requires having computation. Motion estimation in higher resolution used the motion vector of the lower resolution with the MRME that has parent-child relationship on wavelet coefficients. This method reduces the search area of motion estimation in higher resolution and computational complexity. The computational complexity of the proposed method is about 40% of the existing method using 3-level Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees(SPIHT) wavelet transform. The experimental results with the proposed method showed about 11% decrease of Mean Absolute Difference(MAD) and gains able to precise tracking of object.
